Year 11
Student Achievement
Special mention to Julia Murphy, Dan Close, Hadley Wintle, Marli Prado and Momo Elsworth who competed at the NSW Japanese Speech Contest via Zoom last weekend.
The aims of the contest were to encourage learners who are studying Japanese to showcase their language skills in a challenging context and to advocate Japanese language learning in general.
Momo finished in 1st place and Marli finished in 2nd place which is a tremendous result!
Thank you to Abe Sensei and Okawa Sensei for all their assistance and support of the students on the day of the competition.

Yr 12 2023 Leadership Update
On Tuesday, voting closed for the 2023 Yr 12 leaders. The next stage in the leadership process will be the interview process where a selected group of Yr 11 students will be asked to interview for the key leadership positions which include School, Arts, Service and House Captain positions. Not all candidates who have applied for a Yr 12 Leadership position will be selected for an interview; however, the time and effort taken for Yr 11 to complete applications is noted and appreciated. Best of luck to all the Yr 11 students in the next stage of the leadership process.
HSC Year 11 Performance Art
Yr 11 students engaged in a kinetic drawing to music, using their whole bodies as part of the Preliminary HSC Experimental Drawing Unit. The hazmat suits were protecting their uniform from drawing materials! This was a fun, mindful and creative experience for all Yr 11 Art students involved.
Thank you to Ms. Sarah Matthews for sharing the photos of Yr 11 engaged in their kinetic drawing!
